A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
New constructions and major renovations are implementing diverse stormwater management techniques. For example, all materials are being contained in bins to avoid the contamination of groundwater when it rains and at the new Richard Ivey Building, there are two sinks for water collection. The water runs into these ponds and from there they flow to the stormwater drainage. Furthermore, Western regulates the flow of water going into the sinks by slowly releasing it, to avoid overflowing the capacity of the drainage pipe.
